In 1991, Dr. Oh founded the Oh Family Chiropractic Center, Inc. in Federal Way, WA. Born and raised in Seoul, Korea, Dr. Oh got his bachelor’s degree in marine biology from Inha University in Incheon, Korea before coming to America in 1984 to continue his study.
Dr. Oh, however, developed a painful neck condition known as “Torticollis.” In his case, it came on suddenly. The pain in his neck was so intense that he couldn’t turn, bend forward, backward, or sideways. This problem became so bad that driving his car over even a slight bump caused pain in his neck and shoulder. After trying the whole myriad of medicine and acupuncture (those were the only options he knew, as his mother was a practicing pharmacist and acupuncturist in Korea), which didn’t help, he decided to give a chiropractor a try since his uncle was the first Korean ever to become a chiropractor in the world. He was examined, x-rayed, and his spine was “adjusted.” The adjustment didn’t hurt, it actually felt good. He received relief within a couple of visits. This is how he came to study chiropractic.
He earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Cleveland Chiropractic College, Los Angeles, CA in 1989 along with his undergraduate degree in biology from Korea. After practicing in Los Angeles in California as an associate doctor for a year, he moved to Washington State and worked with another doctor as an associate for one more year in Renton, WA. After two years of associateship, Dr. Oh decided to open his own practice in Federal Way.
Dr. Oh focuses on family practice seeing all age group from infants to seniors and fluent in both English and Korean.
Dr. Oh and Mischellie, his wife attend regularly Christ’s Church of Federal Way. Since Dr. Oh and Mischellie are very fluent in both Korean, they are actively involved in multiple community events. Dr. Oh’ son father of two, Jonah and Hannah, with his lovely wife Mischellie, Dr. Oh enjoys reading, boating, fishing, skiing and a good game of golf. Mischellie is an accountant in the Federal Way School District. Jonah just graduated from Pacific Lutheran University and leads the worship team in his church. Hannah attends Thomas Jefferson High School and plays in varsity golf and play baritone saxophone in Jazz band. Both kids have been adjusted regularly since birth and have been blessed with good health.
